A Nigerian singer, Speed Darlington, has regained freedom after nearly two months in police custody.
His lawyer, Stan Alieke announced this on Tuesday night via Instagram.
He posted, “Delighted to announce that our client, Mr Darlington Achakpo, Aka Speed Darlington (Akpi) has regained his freedom after two months of illegal incarceration.
“For the record, as his team of lawyers, we will be exploring every angle of the law to ensure that he gets justice for his fundamental human right which was deprived of him by the Nigerian Police Force and for the unfair/unjust treatment he was subjected to.”
Darlington’s arrest
Darlington, also known as Akpi, was apprehended on November 27 while performing at a show in Owerri, Imo State.
He was accused of cyberstalking Grammy Award-winning artiste, Burna Boy.
Darlington slammed Burna Boy over his collaboration with the controversial US rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ who is facing multiple charges for sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
He inquired that Burna Boy explained how he won the Grammy award for his album ‘Twice As Tall’ — a project executively produced by Diddy.
